Model Demonstration Lessons
Expressing vocabulary in frozen tableau - grades 5-6
Our model demonstration lessons with students allow teachers the opportunity to observe best practices using our methods and materials in the classroom. After the lesson, our presenter leads reflection/debrief time with the teachers. Teachers become motivated by seeing the positive effects of our drama methods on their students. They learn valuable strategies for lesson structure, classroom management, arts integration, inspiring creative expression, and connecting to literacy and Common Core ELA.
A model demonstration lesson day typically consists of 3 lessons of 1 hour each plus 30 minutes with teachers after each lesson. For elementary schools, the 3 lessons can cover the following grade level spans: K-1, 2-3, and 4-5. Example model lesson topics for theatre and arts integration are included below. We can customize model lessons to address specific topics in any subject area to meet your needs.
